    Grindhouse Vibes

    This movie was really good, especially for 2019 when not many movies are up to par. It has an immense Grindhouse feel to it, almost Tarantino like. Mr. Patch's actor delivers a great performance along with the "Deadbeats". The ending is of the top ten strangest endings I've ever seen, very abstract. The Deadbeats was a solid movie, go check it out.

    I love it

    A very entertaining film. The cast and the director did an incredible job. I couldn't give it anything less than 10 starts.

    Terrific and Suspenseful Comedy/ Drama

    Mr. Patch played by Richard Anderson is extremely talented as the clown. A comedy of sorts but soon turns into a suspensful meldodrama. A very fun movie to watch. I reccomend this movie to those that like something a little different from an ordinary clown.

    UNDERRATED B MOVIE!!!

    Im frim czech so please forgive me my english. But i must speak, im not a relative or a friend of the creators, but i gave this movie 10/10 anyway. And why is that ? This movie is amateour, its true but in other hand is creative, funny and quirky. This movie has some very creative absurd scenes, like that one in weapons shop (Please, try that taser on me). Characters are well played and for low budget movie there was great effort. So, please cut this movie some slack, it was great.
